Routes

Try the Simon Recreation Center 5K run and enjoy the view of the north end of SLU’s
campus. Since the starting and finishing points are both at the main entrance of the
Simon Recreation Center, it is convenient and a great place to stretch out.

This route is perfect for exercise and gives you the chance to view some of Saint
Louis University's attractions. The comfortable 1.5 mile walk leads you through the
Billiken Sports Center, Laclede Park, and past Chaifetz Arena and the clock tower
before heading back toward the Simon Rec Center. Note that this path includes crossing
Grand Boulevard at two separate crosswalks.

This simple loop will take you to the quad, Pius XII Memorial Library and the beautiful
St. Francis Xavier College Church.
